The Bangladeshi-American, Salman Khan was born in 1976 to a poor immigrant family. He knew
clearly ____________________
education could give people power and change their lives for the better: Khan
went to a public high school ____________________“a few classmates were fresh out of jail”, as he told The New
York Times, but he got into the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
He got Bachelor of Science degrees in mathematics, electrical engineering and computer science, and also got a Master of Business Administration degree from Harvard Business School. Khan then worked as a
successful hedge-fund analyst .
It all began in 2004 __________ Khan began tutoring his cousins who were having difficulty with math. To make it easier to communicate with them, he decided to put the lessons online as a series of videos. His cousins quickly found that they preferred seeing Khan online.
“____________________ a video lesson that they could pause and repeat made it easier to learn ”
commented Wired magazine, without tiring their tutor.
He started to realize that the videos could help a lot more people and never grow old. He then quit his job, made more than 4,800 videos teaching math of all grades, put them online, and started Khan Academy in 2006.
“My ideas about teaching were straightforward and deeply personal. I wanted to teach in the way I wished that I__________ . I hoped to show the joy of learning, the excitement of understanding things about the universe. I wanted to pass along to students not only the logic but the beauty of math and science,” he wrote in his book The One World Schoolhouse: Education Reimagined.
The academy has become so popular across the world __________ celebrities and businesspeople are starting to offer donations, __________ Microsoft founder Bill Gates. He has donated more than $9 million to the academy organization, reported Forbes.
However, Khan doesn’t want to make money from it. “My goal is ____________________ learning
faster for students of all ages. ____________________ so little effort on my own part, I can give a large number of people power for all time. I can’t think of a ____________________ use of my time,” Khan said in his TED talk. Section C 10%

A pen has always been a__________ tool when it comes to taking exams. However, in this digital age, this traditional tool may become a thing of the past.
Cambridge University in Britain is considering ending 800 years of written exams and allowing students to use lapTOPs or Ipads to take exams instead.
The move comes after Cambridge teachers complained that students’ handwriting is becoming too
hard to recognize. The ____________________
in being able to write neatly could largely be down to the
____________________on lapTOPs in lectures and elsewhere.
“There has definitely been a____________________
trend. It is difficult for both the students and the
examiner as it is harder and harder to read these scripts," Sarah Pearsall, a senior lecturer at the university, told The Telegraph.
As a result, more and more students with poor handwriting are being __________ to return to university during the summer holidays to read their answers aloud to university administrators
However, some __________ the move, fearing the handwritten word would become a lost art. Tracy Trussell, a handwriting expert at the British Institute of Graphologists, __________ Cambridge to "
make sure that students continue to write by hand, particularly in lectures". She told The Telegraph that
writing by hand could help students improve their memory and understand lessons better.
Meanwhile, there are also concerns that primary and secondary schools could follow Cambridge's example
In fact, a similar plan was carried out for some first- and second-year students at Edinburgh University in the UK in 2011, reported The Scotsman. Senior officials at the university believed it was
____________________ to expect students to use pens and paper during exams when most of their coursework was done using computers.
The move also echoes the opinions of Harvard professor Eric Mazur, known as the father of the" flipped classroom. He believes that the rise of mobile Internet__________ means that we
live in an age in which we don’t need to memorize anything Students should be tested on their creative and ____________________ skills, rather than the ability to remember information, he said during the Times Higher Education World Academic Summit in September.
III. Reading Comprehension
Section A 15%
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
If you studied pictures that ancient people left on rock walls and you tried to determine their meaning,
you would not detect a deep interest in romance among the artists. ______________________________, you would see plenty of animals with people running after them. Life for ancient people seemed to center on hunting and gathering wild foods for meals.
In modern times, when food is available in grocery stores, finding love is more ______________________________ to people’s lives. The ________________________________________ is all around us. It is easy to prepare a list of modern stories having to do with love. An endless number of books and movies qualify as love stories in popular culture.
Researchers are studying whether love, a highly valued emotional state, can be ______________________________ . They ask, what is love? Toothpaste companies want us to think attraction is all about clean teeth, but clean teeth go only so far. Scientists wonder how much the brain gets involved. You have probably heard that opposites attract but that __________ attract, too. One thing is certain: The truth about love is not yet set in stone.
First Impression
To help determine the ________________________________________ of attraction, researchers paired 164 college classmates and had them
talk for 3, 6 or 10 minutes so they could get a sense of each other’s individuality. Then students were asked to ______________________________ what kind of relationship they were likely to build with their partners. After nine weeks, they reported what happened.
As it turned out, their ________________________________________ judgments often held true. Students seemed to ________________________________________ at an early stage who would best fit into their lives.
The ______________________________ Knows
Scientists have also turned to nonhumans to increase understanding of attraction. Many animals give
off pheromones—natural chemicals that can be detected by, and then can produce a response in, other animals of the same species. Pheromones can signal that an animal is either ready to fight or is feeling
__________ to partnerships. In contrast, humans do not seem to be as ______________________________ as other animals at detecting such chemicals. Smell, however, does seem to play a part in human attraction. Although we may not be aware of
chemicals like pheromones consciously, we give and receive loads of information through smell in every
interaction with other people.
Face Value
Being fond of someone seems to have a number of factors, including seeing something we find
attractive. Researchers had people judge faces for ______________________________ . The participants had 0.013 seconds to view each face, yet somehow they generally considered the images the same as people who had more time to study the same faces. The way we ______________________________ attractiveness seems to be somewhat automatic.
When shown an attractive face and then words with good or bad associations, people responded to
__________ words faster after viewing an attractive face. Seeing something attractive seems to cause happy thinking.
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
Life can be so wonderful, full of adventure and joy. It can also be full of challenges, setbacks and heartbreaks. Whatever our circumstances, we generally still have dreams, hopes and desires—that little something more we want for ourselves and our loved ones. Yet knowing we can have more can also create a problem, because when we go to change the way we do things, up come the old patterns and pitfalls that sTOPped us from seeking what we wanted in the first place.
This tension between what we feel we can have and "what were seemingly able to have is the niggling suffering, the anxiety we feel. This is where we usually think it's easier to just give up. But we're never meant to let go of the part of us that knows we can have more. The intelligence behind that knowing is us—the real us. It's the part that believes in life and its possibilities. If you drop that, you begin to feel a little "dead" inside because you're dropping "you".
So, if we have this capability but somehow life seems to keep us stuck, how do we break these patterns? Decide on a new course and make one decision at a time. This is good advice for a new adventure or
just getting through today's challenges.
While, deep down, we know we can do it, our mind—or the minds of those close to us—usually says we can't. That isn't a reason to sTOP, it's just the mind, that little man or woman on your shoulder, trying to
talk you out of something again. It has done it many times before. It's all about starting simple and doing it now.
Decide and act before overthinking. When you do this you may feel a little, or large, ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ and you'll be on your way.
66. It can be inferred from the first two paragraphs that we should ____________________.
A. slow down and live a simple life B. be careful when we choose to change
C. stick to our dreams under any circumstances D. be content with what we already have
67. Which of the following best explains the underlined part in the last paragraph?
A. Escape from your punishment. B. Realization of your dreams.
C. Freedom from your tension. D. Reduction of your expectations.
68. What does the author intend to tell us?
A. It's easier than we think to get what we want.
B. It's important to learn to accept sufferings in life. C. It's impractical to change our way of thinking.
D. It's harder than we expect to follow a new course.

While still catching up to men in some sphere of modern life, women appear to be way ahead in at least one undesirable category. “Women are particularly susceptible to developing depression and anxiety disorders in response to stress compared to men,” according to Dr. Yehuda, chief psychologist at New York's Veteran’s Administration Hospital.
Studies of both animals and humans have shown that sex hormones somehow affect the stress response, causing females under stress to produce more of the trigger chemicals than do males under the same conditions. In several of the studies, when stressed-out female rats had their ovaries removed, their chemical responses became equal to those of the males.
Adding to a woman's increased dose of stress chemicals, are her increased “opportunities” for stress. “It's not necessarily that women don't cope as well. It's just that they have so much more to cope with,” says Dr. Yehuda. “Their capacity for tolerating stress may even be greater than men's,” she observes, “It's just that they're dealing with so many more things that they become worn out from it more visibly and sooner.”
Dr. Yehuda notes another difference between the sexes. “I think that the kinds of things that women
are exposed to tend to be in more of a chronic of repeated nature. Men go to war and are exposed to combat stress. Men are exposed to more acts of random physical violence. The kinds of interpersonal violence that women are exposed to tend to be in domestic situations, by, unfortunately, patents of other family members, and they tend not to be one-shot deals. The wear-and-tear that occurs from these longer relationships can be quite devastating.”
Adeline Alvarez married at 18 and gave birth to a son, but was determined to finish college. “I struggled a lot to get the college degree. I was living in so much frustration that that was my escape to go to school, and get ahead and do better.” Later her marriage ended and she became a single mother: “It’s the hardest thing to take care of a teenager, have a job, pay the rent, pay the car payment, and pay the debt. I lived from paycheck to paycheck.
Not everyone experiences the kinds of severe chronic stresses, Alvarez describes. But most women today are coping with a lot of obligations, with few breaks, and feeling the strain. Alvarez's experience demonstrates the importance of finding ways to diffuse stress before it threatens your health and your ability to function.
63. Which of the following is true according to the first two paragraphs?
A. Women are biologically more vulnerable to stress.
B. Women are still suffering much stress caused by men.
C. Women are more experienced than men in coping with stress.
D. Men and women show different inclinations when faced with stress.
64. Dr. Yehuda's research suggests that women____________________.
A. need extra doses of chemicals to handle stress. B. have limited capacity for tolerating stress.
C. are more capable of avoiding stress.
D. are exposed to more stress.
65. According to Paragraph 4, the stress women confront tends to be
A. domestic and temporary. B. irregular and violent.
C. durable and frequent.
D. trivial and random.
66. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
A. Strain of Stress: No Way Out?
B. Responses to Stress: Gender Difference
C. Stress Analysis: What Chemicals Say
D. Gender Inequality: Women Under Stress
